The first carrier groups were formed.
The carrier group won the naval war in the pacific.
Since then the carrier group has been a major way of projecting US power.
I can't remember who it was, but one of Reagan's critics in the '80s admitted that the advantage of a carrier is that it can be moved.
Try that with an airbase. :)
